Amiga Events : GemRB for AmigaOS4 released
Posted by afxgroup on 2010/11/30 20:14:36 (9159 reads) News by the same author
Amiga Events

GemRB (Game engine made with pre-Rendered Background) is a portable open-source implementation of Bioware's Infinity Engine.

It was written to support pseudo-3D role playing games based on the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset (Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, Planescape: Torment). It should run on GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, possibly other UNIX derivatives and more. It is licensed under the GPL.

 Re: GemRB for AmigaOS4 released
GamePath=DH1:gemrb/BaldursGate2
CD1=DH1:gemrb/BaldursGate2
CD2=DH1:gemrb/BaldursGate2

These are the only lines i changed.
There are that many files to bring across.
I wonder if i`ve missed any.

 Re: GemRB for AmigaOS4 released
So till now there are three of them:

1. Baldur's Gate I, II, III (About the third I don't know as it uses a completely new engine)
2. Icewind Dale I and II
3. Planescape: Torment

Excellent.
Thanks that was it.
I hadn`t actually noticed that setting,probably distracted by the fact the setting "Game name= Baldurs Gate 2" was below it.

 Re: GemRB for AmigaOS4 released
@Afx

Works fine here on my sam just 3 things..

The first: I have an error when i try to save the game..

The second: During the character creation, i cannot find any voice (i have italian version), the list is empty.. am i missing something? (the default is english..)

The third: is there a way to set the language voice during the movie playback?

Edit: I tried Baldur's Gate 1

 Re: GemRB for AmigaOS4 released
i didn't try the italian versions but i can try to play with it.
Regard the CAB file. It is possible that unshield don't recognize the cab file. in this case the only solution is to install the game on windows and copy the data files to os4

 Re: GemRB for AmigaOS4 released
Unshield also fails to function properly here as well,resulting in
"ram files =0".

I installed on windows and copied the lot across.
I now get past the character generation screen and then i get a blue screen bordered with the game icons.
This then ends in a "grim reaper" when iclick on an icon.
Reboot.

Still testing.

I also had trouble with opening the cab file on the first game cd. Until I used unshield from the directory where I had the cabinet, and all went well swiftly.
